What a ridiculous way to compute value. Do you really think jobs are the only thing bought with that money? It brings money into the community. Those workers take that money and spend it at local businesses, driving the local economy up. Why do you think cities fall over each other to court these companies?
You keep trying to drive back to the genocide, but listen to what the people above you are telling you: the populace cares more about the economy and jobs than they do about Palestine. Last I checked (and I don’t have a source for you, sorry, just something I read in an article recently.) about half of Americans find Israel sympathetic in this conflict and about 30% find Palestine sympathetic. It’s obviously much more skewed toward Palestine for young people, but they are also notoriously the most fickle and demanding demographic.
The left is trying to win a noble fight with leverage it does not have, which is sadly their modus operandi. If you want a path that is set in reality and reduces the pain decades of foreign policy have constructed, vote Biden and vote as left as possible downticket to create an ecosystem where Congress can get the left what it wants and needs. I’d be happy to be wrong, but I do not believe there is anything else possible to be done in the current geopolitical scheme.
EDIT: I did find the Gallup poll. Gallup. You’ll have to scroll past the opinions on the PA specifically.

How could I ever have forgotten about trickle down?!
I forgot both parties have politicians unironically trying to bring back regeanomics…
